I guess all the “Genocide Joe” commenters aren’t getting paid to skew the election anymore, so they won’t be here to comment.

What a shock that no one could've ever seen coming.
Oh wait: 
Well at least it's not genocide!
/s
The "two parties are the same," "Genocide Joe" people are literally quibbling about that just to maintain their arguments and it's depressing.
Well after all, if you argue with them, you're a genocide supporting liberal troll. Sometimes in all caps, even!

definitively yes
when utilitarianism seems less burdensome than whatever twisted knot the "genocide joe" folks have to tell themselves justify their actions, you gotta wonder about the choices they made.
when utilitarianism seems less burdensome
How burdensome was it to watch 40K Palestinians die at the hands of weapons made, and supplied, by the US, and fully supported by Biden?
The carnage in Palestine is far reduced now than it was a month ago. I have no confidence that it will hold, but so far the only way that Trump has been worse than Biden on the issue is that Trump is explicit in his rhetoric as opposed to trying to sugar coat it. I realize that to Americans, who are only directly effected by the genocide in so far as hearing about it makes them sad, having their leaders tell them soothing lies means everything, but to those actually in Palestine, it doesn't make a material difference.

Love that all the pearl clutchers are in this thread to say that NOW the genocide is bad, as if they'll catch leftists in a whataboutism.
The truth is that Trump is giving the same carte blanche that Biden did to Bibi. It remains on the people of Israel to stop this conflict, as it always has. You can't pretend the genocide is only bad when your enemy is doing it, this was the same plan under Biden. Trump just likes bragging about the cruelty, whereas Biden was smart enough to pretend to care.
If you strip all the politics of nuance, everyone is exactly the same and nothing ever happens
Both candidates are bad on one issue so it's all the same! No. Fuck you.
People clicked this thread for the topic of this issue. So, he's making a point about this one issue. Don't see any statements claiming Trump has a level head on anything else.
Both candidates were bad on a lot of issues, but I'm glad you jumped to a conclusion that I never stated to prove my point so quickly.

"Clean out that whole thing."
He doesn't even pretend it's something other than ethnic cleansing. Just literally "clean out" the Palestinians.
And we're powerless to stop him.
And once again the media is creating apologetic headlines. I guess they want people to only realize the leopards ate their faces when they only have their Lying Eyes left.
“Does no one in the media know what it’s called when you ‘clean out’ an ethnic group and expel them from their land?” one commenter asked, adding: "Trump Calls for Ethnic Cleansing of Palestinians From Gaza," that is your headline.”
